Thats a relief! Ill keep an eye on the population. What characteristics makes it a dehanni?

So, we were feeding my Scolopendra sp. And noticed a lot of tiny white bugs crawling all over it. We keep it in a 10 gallon locking tank on eco earth and sphagnum moss. It also has springtails and dwarf isopods in there. Anyone have any idea what these things could be? Are the harmful? How...

How do I tell if male or female? We have fed it 2 crickets since we got it and it ate both. I setup a 10 gallon. I bought a glass fishtank lid and punched holes in the plastic piece that you remove for filters etc. It climbs every know and then but stays in corkbark hide mostly. The...

"Occasionally overflowed" to keep substrate moist? We do the same for our pede. Any specific hide reccomendations? Half logs, resin, corkbark? And screen lid (secured of course) enough ventilation?

I have no idea. Definately not a sling. Ill post the pic I took this morning. The guy had him in an empty water bottle, so we set that in a small critter tote, and once he came out, we set the small crotter tote in the bigger one and waited for him to come out before removing everything. The...

Ok... I have kept a few varieties of scorpions, including raising some babies, but I have never owned a T. A friend brought one to us because he knew we kept scorps, but I am honestly terrified of spiders. However, the rest of my family wants to keep it. Im pretty sure its a Texas Brown...

I got a viatnamese centipede from a reptile expo a couple of months ago, and I had a few questions about maintenance. First, how often should I completely change the substrate? I use eco earth and sphagnum moss, and its in a 10 gallon tank if that helps with coming up with an answer. Second...

I got a new dune scorpion about 2 months ago and I was finally able to get some (hopefully) decent pics. Can anyone tell me male or female?

We usually run a humidifier in the room that some of my scorpions are kept, and I was considering running it with some vinegar in the water to kill bacteria and mold in the humidifier as well as in the room. Will the vinegar kill or irritate my scorpions? I've tried to google it, but all I'm...

About 5 years ago, we got our first scorpion. It was labeled emperor, but back then I didn't know any better. We even trusted the pet store clerk. He had us buy a 10 gallon tank, crushed walnut for substrate and 50 large crickets to throw in there with it. We didn't mist the tank or anything...

Wait. I just read this post. Hognose snakes are venomous?

I love this thread so much! It's been a while since I've checked it, but good to see her growing! She is such a beautiful snake.

That's how I acquired this one. I live close to the Oklahoma/Arkansas border. My friend in Arkansas found this one in his house. We have plenty of wooded land and we find all kinds of snakes constantly, but no scorps.

Wow. Didn't realize my thread had gotten responses. I've removed the cotton ball. They have a small water bottle cap for a source of water. The picture was taken after giving new substrate so it's pretty moist. Since then, I discovered a molt! I was so excited. This is my first scorpion molt...

That's what I was thinking to since the segments of her tail seem shorter. She's kind of chubby too. She is the only one. I thought I was getting 2, but my coworker had only caught 1. I live in northeast Texas yet I can't find these, but everyone else I know seems to see them all the time. I...

Yes, here is a picture of it. Any opinions on sex? I have it on ecoearth and a few pieces of bark setup. It wiggles into the crevices during the day.

ill be picking up 2 stripe bark scorpions soon, and had a few questions about their setup; google guides are pretty vague. What is the best substrate? Do thy need things to climb, or just some hides? I plan on keeping them in a 10 gallon. I have a ceramic heat emitter to keep them warm in the...

Been a while, but I had a question concerning my baby emperors. One of them appears really swollen (ready to molt). It is only 3 months old and I know that complicated molts can result in death. It goes without saying that I want to avoid this. Today is feeding day, and I'm wondering, if I...

Hm. The rat tail idea is really good. I'm sure we could try that this weekend. Do you have any pictures of videos of what I'll call "the straw method" that you're describing? I think I can visualize what you're saying, but would like to be sure. And admittedly, we do start to doubt ourselves...

He doesn't really move much, but he has enough strength to try to get away when we offer him food or when we have to give him his medicine. There wasn't an odor coming from the poop and it was on his paper towels a couple days ago. He doesn't poop or pee on us when being handled (unlike a super...
